BAY CITY, MI--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 17, 2009 -- Sarissa Resources Inc. ("Sarissa" or the "Company") (Other OTC:SRSR.PK - News) released today partial assay results from Diamond Drill Holes 09-70 and 73. These holes are part of the current 9 hole program designed to test the D Zone of the Company's Nemegosenda niobium property in northern Ontario. Holes 09-70 and 73 were drilled deeper in order to test for possible depth extensions, and both encountered significant grades of Nb2O5 material below the previously identified cut-off of the mineralized zone. The Company considered it prudent to prioritize the assays from this deeper section of these holes in order to more accurately plan the remaining drilling.
The results below the 200 metre levels returned a 4.5 metre section in DDH 09-73 of 1.8% Nb2O5, from 229.30 to 233.80, including:
Metres From To Nb2O5%
1.5 229.30 230.80 2.5
1.5 230.80 232.30 1.7
1.5 232.30 233.80 1.4
Results from DDH 09-70 below the 200 metre level returned values of 0.42% Nb2O5 over 43.5 metres from 201.5 metres to 245 metres, including: 0.36% Nb2O5 over 18 metres from 201.5 metres to 219.5 metres; and 25.5 metres of 0.46% Nb2O5 from 219.5 metres to 245 metres.
The results from these holes indicate the presence of further significant mineralization at depths below what had previously been reported in historic drilling results, confirming Sarissa's theory that the deposit remains open to depth.
The Company is awaiting the remaining assay results from these holes. Full results from DDH 09-70 and DDH 09-71 should be available for release shortly.
In addition, Sarissa is honored to be exhibiting at one of the world's largest and most renowned mining events, the PDAC 2009, an international convention, trade show and investor's exchange which is hosted by the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada, held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. In fact, Sarissa will be exhibiting at 2 locations during the convention. As well as being in the Investors' Exchange (booth 2400), we will also be exhibiting in the "Core Shack" (booth 5017.) The PDAC Core Shack display area will allow drill core from 60 deposits around the globe to be available for inspection along with maps, charts and technical information. Sarissa will be exhibiting on March 1st and 2nd.
Sarissa Resources CEO, Scott Keevil, commented, "It's gratifying to see the drilling results confirming, and improving on, what had been historically reported. I'm also very happy that we have been selected to display our drill core and geological information at the Core Shack area of the PDAC, and look forward to meeting some more of our shareholders there."
The company looks forward to keeping our shareholders informed in the coming weeks through continued updates, as further results are obtained and analyzed.
